Per Miller's Uncle in PA :

"My grand and great grandparents knew Polish, Russian, Yiddish, liturgical Hebrew, but no English until they got here and learned English. I am eternally grateful that the door to America was open. Tonight at dinner, my visiting 5 year old grandson, Ari, mentioned that, "It's not nice to slam the door in people's faces when they knock on it." Next month he starts kindergarten."
If Miller Lie Life's immigration proposals were reality in the early 20th century, he wouldn't exist.

(89,244 posts)This asshole is a "perfect" tool. The right loves him because he is their "some of my best friend' Jew, and the left love him because they use him as an example of the "bad" Jew, which is all Jews except the ones they anoint as "good", much like the right, with someone like this putz!

(48,986 posts)You are saying both the right and left are jew-hating racists.
Is there room in the center for non-racists in your world-view? How narrow is your center? Does this mean you are a centrist?

(53,936 posts)What I said is that anti-Semites, from the right and the left, love assholes like him.
Does this mean you think anti-Semites don't exist on the left? Do you think those on the left are "pure" and can't be bigots? Does this mean the left is "perfect"?
On edit: Oh, I am so, so very sorry, I forgot to say "some". Perhaps you don't think anti-Semites exist on the right either.

(48,986 posts)Where do you think you can get away with claiming something that is patently obviously false?
You wrote "the right" and "the left". You did not write "anti-Semites" at all. Here is your post.
Your generalization is much too over-broad with regard to both the right and the left.

(53,936 posts)This is what happens when I post early in the AM. I don't re-read, and I think my post says what I said in my head. I didn't "say" anti-Semites, but "implied" it. However, since the prior post didn't use the word, it is confusing and poorly constructed.
It should have read:
So, I wasn't trying to "get away" with anything, I was simply sleepy and constructed a poorly written post. I apologize for the misunderstanding I caused.
Edit: Follow the chain, and see how I was thinking...
So when I talk about the ones on the left and right (I also left out the word "ones" in the original), I went from post #1 "Nazis", to it's continuation in post #2, and I changed it from "Nazis" to "all anti-Semites", but didn't make it clear. That was the thought process.

(5,611 posts)denied this but well it wouldn't be at all surprising. Miller, according to people he knew in high school, had some weird rampant hate of Mexican-American students (especially if they dared to speak Spanish around him). He's a privileged child of a well-off Santa Monica family (not conservatives either) and went to elite schools -- but you know he isn't "cosmopolitan" -- he's really concerned about the "American" worker...

English became his third language some years later as necessary.
